Abstract

The circuit measures the level of an electrical signal, possibly with reference to a reference voltage. It can, with advantage, be applied to amplifiers with automatic gain control. <??>The circuit measures the level of an input electrical signal (Ve) and consists of an input amplifier (1), biased by a bias voltage, receiving this input signal (Ve) and producing an output signal (Vs), followed by a detector (2), itself followed by an integrator (3) delivering an integration signal (Vi). These three units form a measurement channel, the said integration signal (Vi) being the sum of a signal with a level proportional to the level of the said input signal (Ve) and an offset signal. The measuring circuit also incorporates a generator (6) producing a reference voltage (Vr), a compensation module (4) receiving the reference voltage (Vr) and producing a compensation signal (Vc), and a differential measuring amplifier (5) receiving the integration and compensation signals and producing a measurement signal (Vm). The bias voltage is the reference voltage (Vr). The compensation module (4) comprises stages corresponding to the units in the measurement channel in order to pass on the reference voltage (Vr) in conditions similar in all respects to those of the measurement channel. This produces a correction signal having the same value as the offset signal, the correction signal being included in the compensation signal (Vc).
